Play as Dynasty - Destinies Expanded

This mod allows you to continue playing as someone from your's dynasty when you die. You can continue game as manually selected member of your dynasty in "Dynasty Members" tab or random member.

For me this game after x first born character kinda becomes boring. So this mod is for ppl, who want to have more fun with ur dynasty. Imagine u have some viking badass uncle who has only one county. Let's play as him and go on adventure, create kingdome somewhere else, die in battle, live your life to fullest. Oh your prev character's child ruined ur kingdome? Go and try to restore it to it's former glory as youngest child. Play as underdog. Play as black sheep of your legendary dynasty and try to murder your way to emperor title. Possibilities are endless tbh. Just have some fun and be your worst enemy. Maybe it's truest form of playing Crusader Kings.

This mod is almost like "Partition: Choose your Primary Heir" created by Lrds (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2292815167), but I expanded it.

Game still ends if u have no player heir. In only that case you cannot choose another dynasty member to play.

Probably with all mods that do not change file "window_succession_event.gui" i.e. window shown after your character death


In the 1.13 patch PDX added `Choose a New Destiny` feature, which breaks my mod (sadly but not really, because it's nice that they did have similar idea). The feature is great and all, but has one limitation which my mod didn't have. Number of available characters. I tried to expand this feature as a continuation of this mod, but ultimately failed. Here are my programming notes:
- When the succession window is opened, there is a warning above saying that you cannot affect the game. This even includes creating, modifying variables created only by mods.
- I got an advice from discord, that I could fetch the available characters before the window appears, for example when they player dies. Done it successfully, but then the PDX's `SuccessionEventWindow.SelectDestinyCharacter` function didn't accept any of my characters.
- My last failed attempt was to overwrite the native `on_player_select_destiny_setup` script. I suspect, even if I somehow did overwrite it, after the script is executed, PDX behind the curtains moves the returned data to the new types `MainDestinyCharacters` and `RandomDestinyCharacters`, which are passed to the succession window. So basically I have to deal with the black box, which I don't know whether it accepts the lists (not just three options).
- There is still hope, I can maybe create my own succession window that is displayed after the native window.
